events

This week is a normal school week.

Entrants for our codebreaking team for the National Cipher Challenge to Mr Capewell by next week, please. Sixth-formers are especially welcome. We've done well in this competition in the past with our team last year winning cash prizes. Help us make it a success again this year!

We welcome you to our Year 7 Parents' Information Evening on Thursday 03 October 2013

‍‍year 7

classwork
Year 7 have done their baseline tests and had the results. Please ask for scores.

Year 7 are learning about sequences, functions and graphs in unit A1:

support	core	extension
set 3	set 2	set 1
simple linear number patterns recognise continue complete + and - the same whole number every time	linear sequences including decimals including negative numbers	use sequence rules given in words term to term rules position to term rules
linear sequences including decimals including negative numbers	represent and interpret sequences from patterns in shapes	generate sequences from patterns from practical contexts describe the general term in simple cases
represent and interpret sequences from patterns in shapes	describe sequences in words	generate terms of a sequence from algebra position to term rules term to term rules using ICT or on paper
describe simple sequences in words	use sequence rules given in words term to term rules position to term rules	use algebra to describe the nth term of a sequence example for 5, 8, 11, 14, ... T(n) = 3n + 2
use sequence rules given in words term to term rules position to term rules	generate sequences from patterns from practical contexts describe the general term in simple cases	generate sequences using ICT: with spreadsheets with graphical calculators
	use algebra to describe the n*th term of a sequence example for 5, 8, 11, 14, ... T(n) = 3n + 2
